Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

** Comments are now closed. A winner will be posted soon. Thanks for visiting!

Welcome to my regular readers and all the new ones who have found me from Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day list! I'm glad you came to visit my little corner of blogland.

This is my first time participating on the actual giveaway side and so I'm excited to have a little Christmas gift for one wonderful commenter! You may recognize this little tote bag as one of the ones I was working on in an earlier post. I'm also including a little handmade bird ornament.

I'm also giving away a half yard of this fun winter fabric. The colors aren't appearing as vibrant in the picture as they are in person - beautiful aquas, pinks, purples, silver/grey. Plenty of time left to whip-up a quick bag to use as a gift bag (have you seen the Green Bag Challenge info on SewMamaSew's website?) - or whatever you want to make!

I will leave the giveaway open until Dec. 17th and will randomly choose and announce a winner on the blog by the 19th. To enter the giveaway, please leave me a comment on the blog telling me how far along with your Christmas shopping/sewing you are. If you'd like a second entry, become a follower of my blog and then leave me a comment telling me you joined. (By the way, I'm sorry, but I'm not able to ship Internationally at this time.)

If I reach 50 followers on my blog, I'm planning on posting a second giveaway. Perhaps it will be a pillow or a mug rug I've been working on? We'll see if we reach that number!

I hope you all take time to visit all the blogs that are participating in Giveaway Day! Come back and visit me again!

This is such a cute give away and so very me - owls and birds and bright colors oh my!Christmas shopping and sewing aren't happening in my house hold, but I am cross stitching and supergluing like crazy to get the house all decorated in holiday spirit!

The bag is adorable! I'm getting there but by no means near finished. I got the biggest projects done and now have a large number of littler ones to finish. I'll make it - I do every year - but it wil be tight - as it is every year!

I am so NOT far with my shopping/creating! LOL! I still have plenty to do, but I have plenty done, too, so I can't really complain. I have to be honest...I sort of like the last minute! HA! Your gifts are so beautiful!!!jinglesells at gmail dot com

My daughter would LOVE the owls on the tote bag! I am almost done with my shopping--my husband and I are going out tonight on a dinner/shopping date. As for the sewing... ah well, there's always next year. :) Thanks for the giveaway and Merry Christmas

Awesome giveaway, thank you! I haven't even started shopping! Ahhhhhh! I just finished up with a class for a Masters program and can now really focus on sewing/handmades and shopping. But, then again we just got a ton of snow yesterday, so I may be sledding today with my son! :)

What a lovely bag! I've always been partial to owls as it was my grandparents brand! I am a little over halfway done with our christmas shopping. Right now I am waiting for the rest of our giftcards to come in the mail so that I can finish up my purchases. However I am not as far along with the homemade items as I would like! Now to start wrapping and mail the cards! :)

Oh, lovely bag. Thanks. I'd love a chance. As for my Christmas gifts...done with one sock for my sock; started one sock for my mother in law. Then, to finish a second sock for each. However, this is the last of it. avennett AT verizon DOT net

Your owl bag is awesome! So far I have done almost nothing in Christmas shopping or sewing. Well, I did cut the fabric for some presents but aside from that nada. I figure I have another week or so. :) You have a cute site...I became a follower

I'm actually doing amazingly well on my Christmas sewing. I have 4 shirts made for the littlest, a hoodie and 3 shirts for the middle child, and 4 pairs of PJ pants awaiting elastic. Now if only I could figure out what to sew for the picky 13 year old girl.

What a neat giveaway! It's all so cute! I am done with all my shopping (and have been for a couple weeks!). I'm not making anything this time around since I am 34 weeks pregnant and not much into sewing at the moment. (Rest and more rest seem to be the order of the day.) Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh my, I love the bag and the ornament! I'm sadly pretty behind in my Christmas sewing/shopping. I have about 2/3 left to go. Hopefully I'll get enough time and ideas to finish. Thanks for the giveaway!embyrfire@hotmail.com

Well, my niece decided to only be engaged for 7.5 weeks, so I've been busy sewing for her wedding! But that's all done now, and I can start for my family. I'm not doing much this year - just some names on a few blankets, so it won't take long.

CUTE BAG!!! I'm done with my christmas shopping, but not with my christmas sewing... My machine just broke... But never fear, my friends FIL sells berninas and found me a used one at a very reasonable price, so I'll be up and running again soon.

I love your giveway. I like bright colors and critters. Thank you for sharing a part of you. I have not done any shopping or sewing. This is not the way it was supposed to be, but sometimes an illness gets in the way.Merry Christmas to you and everyone.

What a great giveaway ! I'm actually pleased with my homemade gift accomplishments so far...just a few small detail to wrap up, like sewing on a button, closing some openings, etc. I got all the big stuff done...yeah !Thanks for the chance to win.

This is a lovely giveaway. I am almost done with my Christmas sewing. I have gotten sidetracked today by the giveaways! It is my first time giving something away. I have a feeling that tomorrow will be an all sewing day.

Love this giveaway! What fun! I'm almost done with all my Christmas shopping and sewing. I have a couple projects to finish up this week, some hotpads and another bag to make. Then just some more stocking stuffers for the kids. Been enjoying the season!!

I am now a follower. I visited your blog a few days ago because I entered the same contest over at Quilting Gallery. My runner was the Snowman one. I figured two visits, both enjoyable...means time to sign up.

I am WAYYYY behind on Christmas sewing and shopping. Thank goodness my fiance has stepped up to do some shopping - I've been taking finals, so I've had no time! By the way, though, I LOVE the giveaway prizes, I love owls and that fabric, and my 21st birthday is the 17th so it would be so cool if I won! Thank you for the great giveaway :)

shopping done (as we kept to a minimum)...still much crafting and sewing to do...next the soulemama gratitiude wraps with hand-made stationary!!!! in fact, i should be doing that now, not fishing for free goodies :)

This is a very generous giveaway. I especially love the owl fabric the tote bag uses - I'm obsessed with owls! Thanks for the chance to win this. I am almost done with my Christmas gift-making. I already finished 3 purses and 2 crayon totes, plus a bunch of knitting and some hair clippies. All I have left to finish is two Magic card tote bags, so the end is near :)

GREAT giveaway! The bag is divine!! I am pulling-my-hair-out busy with getting gifts finished for my family as well as teacher's gifts, pre-K sugarplum fairy tutu, baking, decorating, wrapping...you know all of the usualy December madness!! :) One thing I am NOT doing is SHOPPING!! That is what Black Friday is for...and I am soooo happy I am DONE!! Have a great giveaway!

This giveaway is too cute!!! I have 4 kids but only 3 getting presents, one is too young. So just a couple gifts for each left. They aren't getting a whole lot they have too many toys as it is. Oh and I haven't gotten my husband anything yet :( any ideas?

Just stopping by from SMS. love your blog-will check it out more soon! The bag & ornament-love them!I was doing great re: Christmas but strep throat hit us pretty hard so we are falling behind-maybe 50% done-oh well, it will come together!

I am maybe half way done with my mostly crafting. I am the queen of procrastination, which is what I am doing entering all of these give aways instead of sewing! Love the bag and am so greatful for the chance to win!

I'm almost done shopping, I'm waiting on a custom Kipper the Dog for my 2yo. I'm finished with my sewing but I do have to finish my christmas knitting and crocheting :) Thank you for the chance to win!
